How To Make shredded beef tacos

  • Step 1
    Sear chuck roast in 2 Tbsp oil in hot skillet until browned on both sides.
  • Step 2
    Add chuck roast, water and spices to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours or so.
  • Step 3
    Pull and chop roast with a fork and knife until completely shredded. Drain off liquid.
  • Step 4
    NOTE: I like to add a little liquid to beans for a side dish! So good!
  • Step 5
    In a shallow skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Heat each tortilla until just browned. Keep warm and covered with foil on a plate as you do this in batches of 1-3 depending on the size of your skillet.
  • Step 6
    Spoon the beef in 1-2 tortillas and top with your favorite toppings! Enjoy!
